Two for October 12th -- one in 1903 from Morristown, TN and the other a FDOI from Washington, DC in 1943.  For a taste of what Galbraith Springs had to offer see http://www.tennessee.gov/tsla/exhib...Pamphlet.pdf For October 13th, this Newark, NJ cover from 1910.  The Hallock-Denton Company appears to have been a producer and/or bottler of food extracts and cleaning supplies.  |

That October 13, 1895 postmark from Boston, MA has to be something of a record. I don't recall too many CDS that have that many characters defining the post office name, which I believe is "Boston South End A(nnex), Mass. 1895" |

I think it's hilarious that the postal service chose a mid-continent city for first day of issue on seafaring. I grew up in the Minneapolis/ St. Paul MN area and I didn't see an ocean until I was an adult!  |
